HYATTVILLE — Cody's Kalyn Beasley is part of the 2025 Tunes on the Trail concert series — a new initiative put on by Wyoming State Parks that blends live acoustic music with outdoor recreation in Wyoming’s scenic state parks.

The event at Medicine Lodge State Archeological Site will take place on Saturday, Aug. 2. Visitors will enjoy a guided hike followed by a live, 90-minute performance surrounded by nature.

• Hike Start Time: 6:30 p.m.

• Meeting Location for Hike: Petroglyph wall

• Hike Distance and Difficulty: Just under 1 mile long on easy terrain beginning at the Petroglyph wall, following the nature trail, and ending at the historic cabins.

• Performance Time: 7-8:30 p.m.

• Performance Location: Historic cabins, located 100 yards from the gravel parking area in front of the Petroglyph wall. The path to the cabins is wheelchair accessible. 

This Tunes on the Trail event features Kalyn Beasley, a talented Wyoming-based musician from Cody, known for his heartfelt songwriting, engaging storytelling, and a sound that blends country, rock, and Americana rooted in the Western way of life. His performances reflect a genuine connection to the land and lifestyle of the Mountain West, offering audiences both humor and heart in every song.

“Medicine Lodge is a place where the past and present meet in the most meaningful way,” said Heather Jolley, superintendent of Medicine Lodge State Archaeological Site. “Hosting a live performance like this — surrounded by petroglyphs, historic cabins, and stunning landscapes — offers visitors a truly special way to connect with both nature and culture. We’re thrilled to welcome Kalyn Beasley and share this experience with the community.”

All Tunes on the Trail events are free; entry to Medicine Lodge State Archaeological Site is free year-round.

Guests are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets, explore the park, and enjoy the whole experience. Bring water, sunscreen, bug spray, appropriate footwear, and anything you need if you plan to hike.
